Steph Curry makes Nick Calathes look silly going behind-the-back (Video)

Steph Curry is at it again with making defenders look absolutely helpless against him
Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals are underway on Sunday between the Golden State Warriors and Memphis Grizzlies, and of course Steph Curry is showing the entire world once again why he’s maybe the best ball handler in the NBA.
In the first half of this one, Curry was making a drive towards the basket, and without hesitation, he made Nick Calathes look completely lost when he went behind-the-back and drove to the hoop for the rather easy lay-in.
There’s no defending this guy, there really isn’t. He can seemingly do whatever he wants, whenever he wants, when he has that ball in his hands on the court. There’s not a thing you can do about it, as Calathes found out the hard way here on Sunday.
So far in this one Curry and the Warriors have been having a rather easy time with their Memphis opponent, although you really have to wonder how different things might be when Mike Conley will be on the court again.
It might be more of the same, but Curry will at least be challenged a little better at the top of the key.
